Last Wednesday Eskil-Roll Hansen was elected new internal coordinator for XR Oslo.

Eskil takes over after Jesper Lagerman, who has done exceptional work for the local group.

- I have big shoes to fill after Jesper, but I’m looking forward to the new challenges, says Eskil after Wednesday’s election.

The coordinator for the local groups will work for a good flow of information between the different work groups in XR Oslo and is therefore an essential role.

- I want to work closely with all the work groups, so everyone knows what the others are doing. This will make it easier for us to pull in the same direction. Poor interaction and communication are bad for motivation, something we must avoid. We have grown a lot, and I believe many people feel that we can have better communication in the organization. In 2020 it is more important than ever that we keep up our joy and activism. This is why it is really important for me as internal coordinator to do what I must to improve the interaction and communication in the Oslo group. I want to make sure it becomes easier to be a part Extinction Rebellion, says Eskil.

The process, which happened at Greenhouse, was a so-called holocratic election. One of XR’s main principles is that we want to reduce the concentration of power, and holocratic elections is a way to do just that. If XR as a movement is to work in a self-organizing way, we need other methods than the traditional ways.

At this blog you can read more about holocratic elections.

Here is the overview of this week’s activities on Greenhouse, where we have our offices and meeting rooms. The address is: Schweigaards gate 34C .
